Kurt Russell
stars as macho truck driver Jack Burton who enters into a bizarre hidden world under
San Francisco’s Chinatown in John Carpenter’s cult masterpiece. When the ancient
sorcerer-prince and crime lord, Lo Pan (James
Hong), kidnaps the fiancée of Jack's best friend, Jack must help his friend
rescue the girl before the evil Lo Pan uses her to break the ancient curse that
keeps him a fleshless and immortal spirit. A mash-up of martial arts films,
1940s old action serials, Chinese mythology and straight- forward American
adventure, Carpenter’s bonkers netherworld epic is one of his best, and
features some of the most iconic lines in film history. (USA, 1986, 100 mins, PG-13, English & Cantonese | Dir. John Carpenter)
